KSU and ISU not

Doing the conference any favors. Wildcats tied with ASU at 21 heading into 4th and ISU losing to La 24-14.

Just like the old Big 8 days

Big 12 stinking it up bad...I knew the conference was down but not THIS down. Jeezo

 

[Soonerborn1959]

Special teams killed ISU but then again that offense was not good today for the Clones

 

[iasooner1]

The Cajuns are not bad and Arkie St is well coached it appears. I’m more disappointed with the Clones. This was gonna be their year to beat the Hawkeyes

Iowa State showed that paper props mean jack crap.

Iowa St as a university have been devastated by COVID. It has to have had a big impact on their football team and their game prep. I guess Kansas had bad weather, but they're losing again to Coastal Carolina. The Chants just went up 35-17 ten minutes left in the game, five minutes after midnight.

And Kansas is losing to Coastal Carolina
38-23 with about a minute to go in the 4th. CC just kicked a FG and now KU has the ball. Not a good day for the Lil 12 minus 2.

Jeez.

The real story is out of Austin. This is by far Herman's best team. They looked very good on both sides of the ball. You can see the influe

 

[owenfieldreams]

not sure how that happened...influence of new OC. It's gonna be a war in Dallas.

If OU can't run the ball any better than it did last night, it will be a one-sided war. That was a pitiful performance against, especially considering the competition. I didn't watch the game, but even if it was pure vanilla in the running game, the Sooners should have been able to average more than 3.5 yards per carry against a crap team. Their average in the 1st half was less than 3 yards per carry.

Almost every season the run game sucks in September

The running game was without Stevenson who averaged 8 yards per carry last season (64 carries for 515 yards) and Pledger. I think the running game would have had 80-100 more yards if those two had played.
From the highlights I saw, OU's line had many second line players in the game in the second half....when OU had only 7 points.
Looked like Riley decided to audition many players knowing the game was not going to be challenging. Mordecai got some very important time as well.

 

[EagleZipperHero]

I don’t think Pledger will be playing over McGowan by year’s end

Maybe, maybe not. But I believe Pledger can be a quality back and become a solid addition to the depth at RB.

 

[humblesooner]

The 2 freshmen played well, I thought.
I think play-calling and the scrambled O-line were responsible for the 3.5 yards per carry.
Need some time to get in a rhythm.
Fortunately, looks like we will have a good opportunity with KSU and ISU up next.

Big 12 stinks. The land of 2-3 good teams (OU, Texas, maybe OSU) and rest very suspect. This does not bode well for rankings respect. Just glad we started off well. Always will be things to clean up for the KState game but overall it was not too bad. Rattler is definitely all in.

 

[8085sooner]

Add TT and Kansas to the list. Both locked horrible.

 

[JConXtsy_rivals]

In the post game, Riley admitted it was less than ok, but he specifically called out himself, the backs RB&HB, and the QB which I thought was interesting. I do not believe he called out the line, but I could have just missed it.
